The reason for the increase stemmed, in part, from the fact that the Regent'sfAction Plan required students classes inthe arts and many took the path that they could most relate to: singing. These students, along with those who would like to continue on in vocal performance, make up the Symphonic-gfchrorus and the Select chorus, both under the direction of Mr. Joseph Crisafulli. Each of these groups worked hard and dilligently during the fall months in prepara- tion for their Winter Choral Concert which was held on December 19 in the Theatercfofishe Performing Arts. This concert featured the Phil- omelian Alumni of Oswego High and combined with the present groups to perform the Christmas selections of Handels, Messiah The groups also continued thetradition of caroling during the 'Christmas Season as they visited local nursing homes in an effort to make the season brighter for these people. The members of both choral groups also were given the oppor- tunity to participate in an exchange concert with 'vocal students from Auburn High School on May 7. In addition to the opportunities that perform students had in both of these vocal grouplsgjthere waiS,,,,ailnew group formed called Solid-ifGlold , which focused primarily on the more pop- ular Show Choir style and will pre- miere at the May concert. Mr. Crisafulli hopes. that future years will provide diver- sity in the types of that par- ticipate in the program so it touches more of the community.

Proud musicians continue tradition ride was the polar star by which OHS instrumentalists charted their course to suc- cess. All of the instrumental music organizations at OHS, Wind En- semble, Symphonic Band, Concert Band, Marching Band, Jazz Band and smaller quintets and ensembles, were busy throughout the year. The Marching Band enjoyed success in the fall as the other organizations prepared for their first performances in December. The culmination of the fall practices for the Wind Ensemble, Symphonic Band and Concert Band was the Winter Concert on December 12. This was the first of many per- formances for the concert bands and was viewed by a capacity crowd in the Theater for the Performing Arts. The Wind Ensemble, under the direc- tion of Edward Lisk, traveled to the Ithaca School of Music in February to put on a demonstration performance for a music class at Ithaca. This trip was termed a success by Mr. Lisk as it gave more exposure to not only the quality of the Wind Ensemble, but to the music program as a whole. The students who participate in the Wind Ensemble are the finest musicians in the school and the state. The Symphonic Band, under the direc- tion of Anthony Joseph, has been busy preparing for the Orange Blossom Fes- tival Competition in Orlando, Florida in April. The band is preparing num- erous selections of contemporary lit- erature to perform for the judges in Florida. The musicians in the Sym- phonic Band are all above average per- formers and it is this quality that allows the band to perform some of the more difficult modern day literature and to compete with some of the finer bands in the country. The Concert Band, under the direction ofWilliam Palange, is again striving for Mary Lynn Spataro gets ready for rehearsal. .20 Q Set No Limits Photos by D Nurovon Joe Baxter plays his sousaphone. the musical quality that it achieved in past years. The Concert Band, a step- ping stone into the other bands, will also be competing with the Symphonic Band, Wind Ensemble, Jazz Ensemble and Marching Band while in Florida. The band has busily been preparing a variety of musical selections for the competition as well as for other local performance such as the Spring Con- cert and the Seniors Concert. The Jazz Ensemble, under the direc- tion of Anthony Joseph, again traveled to the Civic Center in Syracuse to com- pete in the local Jazz Festival for the second year. The band competed against some of the best Jazz Bands in the state as they tried to defend their lst place finsih of the previous year. The band has also been preparing everything from ballads to big band tunes in preparation for the competi- tion in Florida as well as for their big concert on Memorial Day Weekend. The band program has again proved that the tradition of excellence started many years ago is still being main- tained and is very evident in the many awards that the individuals in the or- ganizations and the organizations themselves are constantly achiev- l1'1g'.,by Eben Norfleet COIlC9l't Band: Craig Adkins, Katrina Backus, Douglas Barnes, Sean Beckwith, Jennifer Boronkay, Scott Boyea, Chad Brownell, Gary Budd,Julie Carpenter, Russell Carson, Ann Case, Corey Christman, Ellen Comerford, Julie Conway, William Dale. lTory DeCaire, Colette Drews, Jennifer Dunn, Carl Emerson, Melissa Farrell, Stacia Fye, Adam Gagas, Chad Gaglioti, Melissa Galagher, Matthew Gehlhoff, Jason Gilchrist, Micheal Gill, Alli- son Grant, Kimberly Hall, Jason Henderson. lMichelle Hibbert, Rennee Hinrichs, Jill Hollenbeck, Marnie Hunter, Christine Jenks, Spencer Johnson, Jennifer Jung, Micheal Keating, Cheryl King, Barry Kingsley, Amy Kurtz, Tracey Landry, Stephanie Lewis, Laura Lindenburg, Sean Lucas. lT0dd MacLean, Shelley Mahaney, Neil Mantle, Regina Matter- son, Kevin Moore, Darren Narayan, Angela Natoli, Kelly, Ohnmacht, Teresa Orel, Andrea Parker, Cliff Pelton, Kate' Pidgeon, Jill Pilon, Scott Pitsley, Denise Prairie. l lChristopher Proud, Denise Ranous, Ellyn Rapaport, Jacqueline Reidy, Kenneth Rookey, Amy Saltalamachia, Helen Sawyer, Pat- ricia Scanlon, Julie Schnauber, Caryann Sculley, Ranee Sears, Stephanie Segretto, Karen Shannon, Theresa Shannon, John Sheldon. lKelly Smith, Kimberly Smith, Sara Spencer, Cynthia Straka, Melinda Sundquist, Sonia Symborski, Christopher Tedd, Edward Tedd, Karen Thompson, Brandi Tice, David Tonkin, Jeffrey Ton- kin, Christopher Tucker, Christine Upcraft. lJeanette Uriondo, Jennifer VanBuren, Leah Walker, Heather Warner, Jeremy Watchus, Arthur Willis, Alisha Wilmott, Mary Jo Wlazlo, Scott Zollitsch.
